Topic: Power Managment/battery fix
After getting mostly everything to work i noticed that my battery meter was not reporting correctly, i thought it was something i installed while messing with my installation so i ended up reformatting to make sure
turns out it wasn't, the final version of snowywind osx used a different kext to manage battery than the final one
after some research with the alpha installation that i had before and the final i saw the alpha used voodoobattery.kext
after removing theAppleACPIBatteryManager.kext in /Extra/Extensions
and using kext helper to install voodoobattery.kext and repaired permissions accordingly i had a working battery meter ![]()
in short what i did was
back up AppleACPIBatteryManager.kext just in case
delete it from /Extra/Extensions
ran kext utility to repair permissions

dragged voodoobattery.kext into kext utility to install it
rebooted
done
on to the second resolved issue
after reading on the insanelywind forums and testing myself i found that it was true that if are on battery power and you play some audio , for example from itunes it will play for a few seconds then cause a kernal panaic
they traced it back to the voodoopower.kext in /Extra/Extensions
once again i repeated the steps above to remove the kext and install

voodoopowermini.kext
turns out this did the trick and how audio works fine while on battery power
next issue is to get videos work in vlc, will report back when i have that working
